Like most saints fans around 2006. Never took much notice of the patriots until Sean Payton came here and started to preach and copy the patriots franchise and BB's way of doing things. Then it was like having your eyes opened , wow, these guy are solid top to bottom. Even when they lose they are close to winning.
That's why the patriots game in 2009 is never forgotten, and constantly brought up. Didn't mean much to the Patriots or fans, but for us it was the most important game in 40 years. We had been preached to by SP that this is the team we need to emulate for for 3 years at that point, and sudenly here they were,lol. yikes!
That game was historic for us because even if the Patriots didn't have a bad day, and the football gods conspiring against them, and we played them even, that would have been enough for us. No other game besides the SB still means more to us. It said ,look you made it, your a good football team finally.
It's a testament to BB, Kraft, and the patriots that when followed almost exactly,
the system they built will work anywhere, even on the worst team in the NFL.
Which is why, if you think about it logically, the patriots are ultimately responsible for the Bounty program, we were just emulating them, and should have given most of the fines... jk
